How hard is it to make a band

Some friends and i have been thinking about it but where do we start?how did local bands get where they're at?we dont really care how popular or well known we are (lie)but who's it start?ya know.anybody have any suggestions?thanks for those of you that help?and please dont dis on me plz.im jusy like any other person who enjoys music. i mean we've all wanted to start a band right?so help is wanted.

in my experience it boils down to a few things. the first and most important is interest among band members, finding places to play (I suggest open mic nights and parties to start out) and then writing good material which is harder than it sounds. if you have those things you'll be just fine
